Dark Bride

Still reeling from Father Neal's revelation, Aidan assists his friend, Brian, by investigating a series of unexplained events at his farm, including eerie lights in the fields at night and his daughter's fixation with an invisible friend. After women with mysterious powers, who are hunting down a witch from the 1600s, appear, the group embarks on a perilous journey to destroy the Dark Bride...but they will be drawn into a horrific battle that some will not survive.

Breeds, Book 1

In a near-deserted coastal village, odd things are happening. Strangers are asking questions about the town's recluse. A local hunter discovers naked footprints in the snow. The stray dog population has ceased to exist. And with winter's most powerful weapon bearing down, things are about to become much, much worse. A werewolf book. Not a romance. Not at all.

Let the Right One In

Oskar and Eli. In very different ways, they were both victims. Which is why they became friends - and how they came to depend on one another, for life itself. Oskar is a 12-year-old boy living with his mother on a dreary housing estate at the city's edge. He dreams about his absentee father, gets bullied at school, and wets himself when he's frightened. Eli is the young girl who's moved in next door. She doesn't go to school and never leaves the flat by day. She is a 200-year-old vampire.

Full Dark, No Stars

'I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger....' writes Wilfred Leland James in the early pages of the riveting confession that makes up '1922', the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerising tales from Stephen King, linked by the theme of retribution. For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife Arlette proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness.

Duma Key

A man discovers an incredible talent for painting after a freak accident in which he loses an arm. He moves to a "new life" in Duma Key, off Florida's West Coast - a deserted strip, part beach, part weed-tangled reef, owned by a patroness of the arts whose twin sisters went missing in the 1920s. Here, Freemantle is inspired to paint the amazing sunsets. But soon the paintings become predictive, even dangerous.

Locke & Key

Based on the best-selling, award-winning graphic novel series Locke & Key - written by acclaimed suspense novelist Joe Hill (NOS4A2, Horns) and illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez - this multicast, fully dramatized audio production brings the images and words to life.

N A THURGOOD says:"An emotional rollercoaster."

Publisher's Summary

Sometimes, the most evil things come from the most holy....

Conflicted with his faith in God and the hypocrisy of the church, Aidan Schaeffer, a young assistant pastor, is in a constant state of spiritual turmoil. When Aidan learns that his ex-fiancée is the first victim in a string of ritualistic killings, he finds himself in the middle of an even deeper fight. Tormented by demonic threats and haunted by spirits, Aidan throws himself into investigating Amanda's death; all the while supernatural forces have begun to attack the people around him. The more questions he asks, the more he is drawn into the world of a mysterious Anglican priest, a paranormal investigation group and a rogue female detective investigating the murders. As the gruesome rituals escalate, ancient hidden secrets and an evil long buried threaten to rip Aidan's world apart.

I purchased this audio book largely based on other customer reviews and I was disappointed. There were a few times I found my self saying out loud are you kidding me? in other parts of the story it was predictable. For an atmospheric thriller I prefer something along the lines of MR James or short stories from Stephen King and Neil Gaiman.

"Entertaining is least this book has to offer."

This book changed my life...again. As a true fan or the horror / thriller genre this book was spectacular. The writing was outstanding, the narration exceptional but there was something else.....something beautiful in it's undertones.

Without giving you TMI...I suffered a year 12 years ago that stopped my 3 time a week mass attendance. In a period of 12 months my husband and I lost our beloved dog. my father, his mother and our child. The impact this had on my faith was unfathomable.......until I finished this book. I attended Mass last Sunday for the first time and 12 years. Life is a cosmic balance, and there can be no good without evil, no evil without good.

Thank you Jonathon for jarring my faith and for one hell of a read.

Story line down to earth but real and intriguing...a hint of the supernatural along with religion.

"Meh - Really Geared for Christians"

Has 3 Gates of the Dead turned you off from other books in this genre?

Kind of - no surprises most of the horror audiobooks are fairly flat, flaccid, mainstream...

What does Kaleo Griffith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Interesting range of voices and good character empathy

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Boredom

Any additional comments?

An interesting opportunity to go deep in exploring symbolism instead just scratches the surface with mundane Christian guilt instead.

"took two tries to get into, but then WOW!"

it starts slowly with a guy who has lost faith. ho hum. then it becomes unbelievably good. this narrator when he does the old man voice is beyond belief. i suspended my disbelief and for a time was entranced by the book and narrator. give it a try or two. you will agree with mw on 5 stars i will bet.
